Bob's Favorite Online Movie Hits

By Mary Haler

I have made a small selection of the movies released this year (2008). I have chosen a few of the motion pictures that I think you might like. I hope you find a picture or two that are good viewing.

10,000 B.C.: This movie sends us back to prehistoric times. When a warlike tribe attack the Yaghai's, they kidnap the beautiful Evolet. D'Leh, a young hunter who is in love with her, organizes a band of hunters to chase down these warmongers, and rescue Evolet and the others.

WANTED: A young, bored, office worker named Wesley discovers that his father, who he never really knew, is a professional killer. When his father is killed, Wesley is basically forced into the group of assasins that his dead father was involved with. He now will become the professional killer that is in his blood. After that, everything becomes very complex and twisted. Enjoy the ride.

THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA, PRINCE CASPIAN: Just one year has passed in there "regular" lives, when Edmund, Peter, Susan, and Lucy are mysteriously pulled back into Narnia. Prince Caspian has blownn Susan's magic horn, in a desparate plea for help. In their one year at home, centuries have passed in Narnia, but they now return to battle for the freedom of Narnia once again. With the aid of the best fighters in the Narnia, including a very brave mouse, they battle to free Narnia.

Jumper: While almost drowning, David Rice discovers an amazing thing. He now knows he can transport himself anywhere, anytime. Eventually, he discovers that he is not the only one that has this skill. After he becomes used to jumping around the world, he finds out that there are those that are trying to rid the world of jumpers. He now must battle for his life, as the hunters believe he should die.

WALL-E: This picture is an animation comedy. Mankind has left Earth, since it had become a pile of rubbish. Wall-E, a robot built to remove trash, has been left behind to clean up the planet. When Eve, another robot, arrives looking for signs of life on Earth, Wall-E is finally not alone. Eventually, when Eve is recovered by the craft that sent her, Wall-E stows away, and starts an incredible adventure.

BOLT: Bolt is a fun animation. Bolt, is a dog who is an actor, who in his role on television, has superpowers. His problem is that he honestly believes he has these powers. When he is accidently finds himself in a real world situation, he realizes that he is just a dog. On a journey to get back home, he is aided by Rhino and Mittens, his newly found hampster and cat friends.

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: I guess it was a typical night out in Vegas. Barely remembering what had happened, Jack and Joy wake up and soon realize that they had married each other the night before. They wind up winning a large jackpot at the slot machines, but each thinks they deserve the prize, so they try to settle it in court. It is decided that they must stay together for six months, and give their marriage a chance. With $3 million on the line, the battle is on as both want to have the cash for themselves.

TWENTY ONE: This movie tells the actual tale of young college kids who formed a team of blackjack winners. These college kids learned to beat the game, and then performed a brilliant run at the blackjack tables. To beat the games in Vegas, where card counting can get you banned, they created false identities, and used complex signals to avoid detection. This movie is based on the best selling book that tells how the M.I.T. teams made millions playing blackjack.

THE DARK KNIGHT: This time Batman, and law enforcement officials, are on a mission to clean up Gotham City. This has effectively reduced crime, that is until the Joker shows up, and starts a crime spree. Batman has his work cut out him now, as the Joker has unleashed his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

These days just about everyone buys or rents these movies, and watch them at home. A new way people are aquiring movies is by using down loading technologies from the internet. Online providers have websites that will download tons of different movies. - 17943
